Meow: I was lucky enough to find out about this place almost as soon as it opened and make a reservation for today. I had a great time petting all the kitties.
Lauren Hansen: Good try, but not quite there. Love that the kitties are adoptable, but the scene is nothing like what one expects with something called a "cat cafe."
angela gaylor: It's really cute, and a great place to meet kitties to adopt. It's not really a "cafe", but tons of cuddly cuteness!

Ellen DeGeneres: Go rescue an animal! Or if you're not ready, just go hold one of the kitties and let it look into your eyes and snuggle up to you and purr. Then put it in it's crate and walk away. Go on. I dare ya.
Esther Earnest: To all of you who take care of family go to the ASPCA and stop their loneliness with a cute kitten or unwanted dog. For what its worth, the smile on their face which was sad before should say it all.
Jiajia Jin: Adopted a cute kitten from there! Staff is super friendly and professional.
